The t21 recall has completely ruined my perfectly maintained and stable work vehicle. Initially after having the recall done it left my battery dead as it left components running. . . It has been in and out of the shop for 5 months since the recall they keep throwing fixes at it which never seem to work! they have replaced the instrument cluster, egr, 2 pcms, and numerous other parts. It still has no power and surges and is blowing black smoke out of the exhaust. There needs to be a recall for the t21 recall as my van is still broken and no can seem to fix it. I am disappointed you would force a recall without proper investigation first. My van is useless now and its cost me 1000's of dollars in lost work!.
: the contact stated at any speed the vehicle stalled, intermittently. The vehicle must be stopped and turned off before the vehicle would restart. The dealership has replaced the computer, egr valve, fuse block, and fuel relay switch. These efforts have not repaired the problem.
